They were all out for 95. We were all out for 46, opening with a duck after a ball on driving length didn't get above ankle height. Drove over the top of it and was bowled. Horrible pitch; typical Hutt Valley.

out for two. I dislike facing spinners to get my innings started as i don't feel ready to slog them right away and in my grade the spinners are so poor that often you have to do just that. So on the grand total of two runs I got a full bunger which I smoked straight to midwicket. And I was on my way.

Doing pretty woeful this season. It is a two piece ball so it is a real battle to make it to 10 runs.

Out for 1 today. My technique against left arm over the wicket was really shown up. If the ball pitches on off stump you basically need to leave it - but it doesn't feel natural to leave it when it pitches there.

Got bowled behind my legs for shuffling toofar across my stumps. In the 2nd dig I took a leg stump guard and opened up my stance and that worked a lot better mind you I just had to last two balls to stumps.

Made 56 in the 2nd dig. We won't dwell on the fact the opposition were 14 years old with 4 or 5 adults thrown in. They were old enough to dismiss us for 101 all out last week. So I am claiming this fifty.

Our captain made a very sporting declaration he gave them 49 overs to score 150. In the end we bowled them out with 18 overs to spare.
